Moving bookstack repairs
Repairs and maintenance of the moving bookstacks on the lower floor of the Library will be carried out on Friday 10th February.
There will inevitably be some noise, and disruption of access to books. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but it is essential that this work is carried out as soon as possible. Also apologies for the short notice - the work was originally scheduled for the following week, but the company had a cancellation and as Fridays tend to be quieter in the Library, we accpeted tha last minute change.
